Review of Speed Racer (2008) by Dylan F — 29 Sep 2010
Speed Racer. It was only a matter of time before someone made live-action movie out of the classic anime. What we have here is a loooooooong movie with a muddled storyline, lame characters, even worse dialogue, and seizure-inducing special effects.
The Wachowski Brothers did a pretty good job with transforming the popular show into a blockbuster, which kind of works against it. Cheesy lines, crazy special effects, and story never dampened the fun on the anime, but in the live action film, the audience should be expecting a bit more. The things that worked in the cartoon do not work at all in the movie.
